Mission 66 – “If My People”

“Mission 66…If My People,” is a call to believers and followers of Jesus Christ to return to Biblical values. In our culture, Biblical values are sometimes looked upon as “out of style” or “old fashioned.” Over the last few decades, decisions such as the removal of prayer from school, the legalization of abortion and the redefining of marriage have caused our foundation to severely crack. Our country has been deceived into thinking that these issues don’t correlate with God’s presence and blessing over our land. These are some of the issues (and by no means the only ones) that have caused America to slide down a very slippery slope. And if the slide does not stop now, who knows what is to come next? If we want to see our country healed, we the church must seek the Lord according to 2 Chronicles 7:14.

“If my peoplewho are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Our country is at a critical crossroads in history. From the founding of America, over 240 years ago, such a rejection of God’s Word has never before been witnessed. And the only way that we are going to see the Lord God Almighty heal our land is to have His people begin to cry out to the Lord. If His church does not turn back, our country will never survive and never return to having God’s hand of blessing upon us.

“If My People…” – God is calling out to His people.

“Who are called by My name” – As Christians, we are called to follow Jesus Christ.

“Will humble themselves” – To be humble in a very proud country goes against the grain.

“And pray and seek My face” – Too many want to seek God’s hand, when He calls us to seek His face.

“And turn from their wicked ways” – We must put an end to wickedness and turn towards His righteousness.

“Then…” – Then, and only then, will He fulfill the rest of this verse.

“Will I hear from heaven” – If we want Him to hear us when we pray, we must humbly seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. Until then, we can pray all we want, but He will not hear.

“And will forgive their sin” – Sin is wiped away, forgiven, when His people truly repent and seek Him.

“And heal their land” – What a gift, the healing of our land!

May we continue to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways so that we will see the Lord forgive our sin and heal our country.
